Miscellaneous
Grian's Beta Expansion also adds a variety of miscellaneous features
Speed Crystals
You can now consume Speed Crystals which will lead to a 1.5x Speed Boost for 20 seconds.
Recipe:
Grassy Boots
Grassy Boots are a new armor item that, when being worn, prevent you from trampling crops.
Recipe:
Sawmill
Adds a new block called the Sawmill.
The sawmill allows players to convert planks to stairs & slabs at a 1:2 rate for slabs & 1:1 rate for stairs.
This block is configured by placing the desired output block (i.e slab or stair) on the side of the block where the texture indicates it. Once the block is configured, you can right click with a stack of planks and it will convert them to the output.
Please keep in mind that it will convert the entire stack you are holding to the configured output.
Recipe:
Redstone Blocks
Redstone Blocks currently do not feature redstone functionality, this is coming soon however.
Redstone Blocks have been backported from 1.5.2. They have the same recipe as all other ore storage blocks.
Nether Glass
Nether Glass is red tinted glass that can be made via smelting Soul Sand in a furnace.
The beta renderer does not support colored transparency, so this is only tinted on the solid colors. Implementing this in the renderer is planned as part of this mod.
Saddle Decrafting
Adds a shapeless recipe that lets you decraft a saddle into 5 leather.
Biomes in F3 Debug Menu
This is not configurable as it is a debug feature, if you need to configure this for whatever reason, please contact me & I will add it in.
Adds a display in the F3 debug menu which shows what biome the player is currently in.
Fence Collision Boxes
Fences now have smaller collision boxes as seen in the later versions
Charcoal Texture
Charcoal now has a unique texture.
